Water balloon pop with sunglasses. I like the bowtie!

 

Setup / strobist;

- Water balloon suspended in front of a black background material.

- A home built popping rig is hidden behind the background material.

- The rig fires a pin into the balloon and triggers the flashes using a Quaketronics flash trigger.

- Two SB-800 flashes are used; one at 1:30 and one at 9 o'clock. Both are set to 1/8th power.

- Glasses were set on the ballon before popping.

- Some touch up in Picasa including light levels and tint color. I had to remove one piece of errant balloon remnant near the glasses.

 

The rig used for this shot is shown here:
